Basking in Bevagna

Set amidst the stunning scenery of the upper Salento, this peaceful villa invites you to experience total tranquillity and relaxation. Drop your bags and make a beeline for the sun-soaked swimming pool and furnished terrace. Stepping outside, you're met by the crystalline water, sun-soaked white stone exterior and abundant natural light. Bliss.

Back inside, we love the soothing blue tones and minimal design that creates a cool and comfortable place to call home. You'll also notice the high-end touch that's been given to this bright space – from the sleek kitchen to the vibrant Acapulcos and azulejo tiled bathrooms. And whether you're rustling up breakfast, sipping coffee on the terrace or relaxing in the lounge, it's easy to make the space your own.

Days are filled with morning swims, long alfresco lunches and sunset cocktails. But when you're not basking in the plush atmosphere of your private villa, take a short trip to the beautiful beaches of San Pietro in Bevagna, just 2km away. And for explorations further afield, the gorgeous sands of Porto Cesareo and Torre Lapillo are less than 10km from your home, while the pink flamingos of Salina dei Monaci are also well worth a trip to see.
